In the praise of shadow

This porcelain sculpture is composed of two forms assembled before firing. Its title references Jun'ichirō Tanizaki’s In Praise of Shadows and reflects an exploration of concealment and revelation. Influenced by Constantin Brancusi and Kazuo Yagi, the work offers a sensory response to Marcel Duchamp’s Fountain. It was acquired by the French national collections in 2023.
